I don't care whether the readers of this blog agree with me or not. I don't care whether people think I'm marvellous or not. I write it because I think it has to be said. I think that the local papers are failing the people of Barnet in their coverage of local issues. I think this blog and the other Barnet blogs are becoming the place to look first for local news. David Miller's Barnet Council Watch broke several stories this week. I don't agree with David's Tory politics, but I think his blog is great and is the first one I check. Lib Dem Councillor Duncan MacDonald also does a good blog. This week's entries are eye opening. Vicki57's blog also has some interesting items, for those who care about social justice. Then there's Statler and Waldorf's daddy of all Barnet blogs. Between us all I think we do a public service for free. Whatever they say, the local politicians of Barnet listen to us. Now I don't mind what people say in comments so long as it's legal, decent and honest. This week I had a string of comments from "Amanda", "Jack" and "Do call me Dave". The comments were legal and decent. Trouble is, they were DISHONEST. You see I can see the IP address of the people leaving the comments and all of these identities were left within minutes of each other using the same IP address (ie from the same place). I've referred to these ID's before as the Friends of Freer. It seems he has rather fewer friends than he'd like us to believe.I consider this practice to be dishonest. By all means leave messages. I don't mind private citizens using hidden ID's, but if people are public figures or using public owned equipment then they should be honest. Anyway, here's your chance for redemption. Say who you are and apologise to the readers of this blog for your dishonesty and I will say no more about it.
If you don't then in 7 day's I'll do a blog with whole story and all of the information I have. There's the challenge. We can do this on your terms or mine.
Do you know what Rog? The Friends of Freer are nothing but a bunch of dishonest cowards. I am quite happy to put my face and name to my posts, it says a lot about them that they (or maybe one person) won't.
ReplyDeleteRichard,
ReplyDeleteWhat does it tell you about what they stand for?
What is most interesting is that even people who don't agree with my politics agree with much of what I have to say about the Leadership of Barnet Council.
What is most remarkable is that someone, presumably, using one of their two hands, can write so much!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it ever occur to you that maybe when friends get together and want to all leave posts, they may use the same computer? Oh, I don't suppose you have any friends so you wouldn't know
